While my grandfather was still alive (father's father) we sat down and he gave me a run down on his 12 brother's and sisters. I wrote it down and have been carrying it around for over a decade. I wish now I had also asked about my grandmother Anna (his wife). The story goes that she was an orphan from Ireland, and was adopted by a family in Rutland.
Well, not true... Last year my Uncle Francis died (father's brother) and among his possessions, was my grandmother's death certificate. It listed her parents' names and her birth place as Laconia, NH. And it seems her father was from Boston and her mother from Nova Scotia, Canada.
So, in my spare time I have been trying to find out more (using Ancestry.com) So far I have come to dead ends. Here's a photo of my grandparents back in the early 1900's.
